American Purgatory: Political asylum in the age of terrorism
http://www.americanpurgatory.org
Each year thousands of people arrive in the United States seeking refuge from violence and persecution in their home countries. American Purgatory, an audio documentary, portrays their experiences applying for asylum. It’s a process that is necessarily rigorous, but for those going through it, it can seem like a contradiction to their vision of the US: more than heaven–a purgatory of sorts.
